Netware 6.5 small business addition with client 32 4,9sp2. When running
Lacerte popular tax program, it runs very slow from the network, we setup
to run locally still runs slow. I uninstalled client 32 application
started to run faster locally. I installed it back and ran the program
localy it still runns fast. When attempted to access the data from the
network it continues running slow. Server has service pack 2 updated tcpip
patch. Please help.

Gary,

Any additional components of the client installed (ie. ZFD agent services like Workstation
Manager, NMAS, NetIdentity, etc.)?
Is the client installed IP, IPX or both?
If both, right-click on the red N in the Windows system tray, select NetWare
Connections...
Are the connections being made with IP or IPX?

Was Windows installed from scratch, a custom image, or an OEM image?
Event Viewer logs showing anything unusual?

Security or any other driver-based software like firewall, VPN, remote management or
antivirus up and running?

Try optimizing the client configuration and/or using a different client.

Other things that may affect performance:

1. NSS volumes may be slower than traditional NW volumes for databases.

2. The server may need tuning.

3. IPX may be faster than IP on a LAN.

4. Duplex mismatches on the NIC/switch.

Try the client settings first. Here are some utilities you can use to help
test performance and optimize it.
